I'm currently trying to get better at reading and am doing that by accumulating a library of public domain books, since they're free and easily available.

If you have a specific work you love that was published pre-1928, or is currently not under copyright, feel free to comment it down below.
if you have any authors you think are worth reading, also post them below.

I'm currently reading Jack London's "War of the Classes", and I have "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde downloaded for later.

I see you've already found Jack London. I remember enjoying White Fang a lot as a kid, though it's been a while since I read it so I'm not 100% certain how well it holds up.

I remember reading "Call of the Wild" and "To Build a Fire" a long time ago and those both have stuck with me. It was only when looking him up again that I discovered he'd written all 3.

Anything else of his you'd specifically recommend?
